TOO HOT in Germany too. I don't brew since 2 weeks, although I brew every week, due to the weather.

What is Kviek?

Kviek is Norwegian farmhouse yeast (Kviek is the Norwegian word for yeast) that has a very high temp tolerence (30C-40C depending on the strain). They've become quite trendy recently. Have a look at this thread https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/kveik.75453/
Im pitching some into an Anglo-Germanic-Czech Bitter tommorow. Im just waiting for the wort to no-chill down to ambient temp. Which is 28C at the moment in my brew corner of the kitchen
"Trendy?"
I think the word you are looking for is "Essential".
My immediate thought was "Norway found and cultured a high temperature yeast? I wonder why somewhere like Saudi Arabia didn't do it?"
Then I thought "Doh!" as I remembered why that might be!

Even though I have a brewbag and can ferment at 'correct' ale temps, I like fermenting my beer at whatever the ambient temp is. Kviek yeast is perfect for doing this. The strain Ive got seems like it would be good for a bitter as its fruity and malty with a dry finish iirc. Im eyeing up WYeast 1028 for winter brewing of bitter as it can go down to 15.5C

Uh! Now, I got it. I read about Kviek, I remember now.
I have some Saison(French and Belgian) yeasts, there are also temperature tolerant. But my brew place is in a greenhouse. I think there is >40°C now. To much for me.

Ive just opened the Evening Standard and looking at the forcast for Friday there's a little thunder cloud with a lightening bold icon at the top. Then the temps, but then underneath theres a poo emoji! The rest of the emojis are either smilies or smilies with glasses on. What on earth does this mean? Are we in London headed for some sort of $hit storm on Friday?

Wouldn't be nice for a change?
We have severe weather warnings for thunderstorms on Friday afternoon and evening. Then back to lovely sunshine Saturday. Yay!

I take it you've welsh accent? How could they confuse that with a Liverpool accent? I guess they dont get out of there village often?
I have a Wrexham accent which is mix of north Welsh with other bits mostly coming from the north west...
